BMW eDRIVE
NOTES
Energy recovery
The high-voltage battery is charged while driv-
ing through energy recovery.
Trip planning and special functions of
the navigation system
Several special functions of the navigation sys-
tem support trip planning taking into account
the electric range:
The electric motors act as alternators and con-
vert the vehicle's kinetic energy into electrical
energy.
▷
▷
▷
The current range can be displayed in the
navigation system map view.
The high-voltage battery can be charged while
driving in different situations:
When entering a destination, charging sta-
tions can be selected as points of interest.
▷
The accelerator pedal is depressed less or
only slightly.
The navigation system helps you to find
and add a charging station along the de-
sired route.
▷
The accelerator pedal is not depressed.
Additional information:
Displays in the instrument cluster
Owner's Manual for Navigation, Entertain-
ment, and Communication, refer to page 6.
The displays on the instrument cluster provide
information about the current state of the drive
and visualize the system's use.
While driving
Additional information:
▷
▷
▷
Activate Efficient mode to increase the ve-
hicle range.
Displays, refer to page 151.
Efficient mode, refer to page 325.
Energy-saving driving and
maximizing the range
Note the information on the expected
range.
General information
Range prediction, refer to page 169.
Energy-saving driving is the basic prerequisite
for as large a range as possible. eDRIVE pro-
vides various functions that assist with an
energy-saving driving style. The eDRIVE func-
tions assist in checking the range and increase
it, if necessary.
Note the information on the current driving
condition.
Displays in the Live Vehicle menu, driving
condition, refer to page 170.

Note the information on the range.
Increasing the range, refer to page 323.
Note the information on the driving style.
Driving mode Efficient, refer to page 325.
Activate adaptive energy recovery.
Before driving
eDRIVE allows pre-conditioning of the vehicle
before starting the trip. The stationary climate
control provides more range than using full air
conditioning while driving.
Adaptive recuperation, recuperative brak-
ing, refer to page 323.
Depending on vehicle equipment: preheat-
ing/precooling during the charging process can
provide maximum range when driving off.
▷
▷
Follow the Efficiency Coach instructions.
Efficiency trainer, refer to page 325.
Use the battery heat management system
to prepare the high-voltage battery for an
upcoming charging process.
Additional information:
Stationary climate control, refer to page 299.
